Full-Size 1911 as CCW

After recently acquiring my first 1911 I am impressed with how concealable this thing is. I really like my Glocks, but I see my G22 getting much less hip time now that I have the 1911. I am over six foot, so the 5-inch barrel doesn't bother me too much, but the slim frame just fits so perfectly.

About time you found out. 5 inch steel 1911 with a good holster and belt has worked for me for a long time. Only time I notice the weight is if I change belts to a crappy one. (don't have a stiff black belt yet)
